Rapid STP: proposal/agreement process
Today I will talk about how Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol uses proposal/agreement negotiation process to handle network topology changes. This video is part 2 of the Rapid Spanning Tree protocol.
Rapid STP proposal and agreement process is very quick because it does not depend on traditional BPDU timers as the standard Spanning Tree Protocol does. Instead, a switch negotiates its neighbors directly. Rapid Spanning Tree protocol provides faster topology change detection and much faster convergence time than the standard spanning tree protocol. It is widely used in a large network with many switches.
